June 12, 2020 at 6:50 am EDT By Taegan Goddard
Those stories are true, but Washington Post reporter Mary Jordan reveals in a new book that the first lady was also using her delayed arrival to the White House as leverage for renegotiating her prenuptial agreement with President Trump.

(272 posts)I was not aware that a 23 year gap is acceptable. I will admit I am a bit of a puritan there due to my religious upbringing (not religious anymore but some things stick with me)

(272 posts)As in: marriage being viewed as a social duty and we are dirty animals if we enjoy sex. Greek Orthodox to answer your question specifically, and even then my family were weird and probably other greek orthodox are more open.
I also guess that because for me a 23 year age difference means having a relationship with a 15 year old, I didn't think through that it might be ok if the younger party is well into adulthood.

(4,393 posts)My parents had a 20-year ago gap and a marriage that lasted over 40 years. My mother was in her early 30s when they met and married, so my father was not marrying a child. I can't think of any instance during my childhood when that age spread had any relevance to anyone.

(12,783 posts)We choose our battles carefully. The best one was my husband taking on a rwnj who was running for state senate. My husband lost it when he started bashing gays and lesbians and talking about the sanctity of marriage. He scared him so bad he backed off the porch and went on his way spewing his hate. We grow weary, you will see why when you see the crowds at the BOK Center in Tulsa.

(76,697 posts)Do you ever stop to wonder how we got a Slovenian "sex worker" as first lady?
She came here illegally, she and Donald lied about her having a 4 year degree, she did
sex films and photos, Jeffery Epstein introduced her to Trump, and she was never really
a model.
Strelnikov_
(8,131 posts)to report back on what Red Don was up to. Probably had Epstein 'present' various women.
At some point she revealed to him who/what she is. That is why she is the only woman he fears, but is not willing to belittle. And he fears/resents her, that is apparent.

(7,947 posts)She got out of the USSR by suspicious ease at a time when people often had to risk their lives to defect. And she came into the US illegally probably. And after marrying her, Trump started doing deals with Russians.

(63,221 posts)She obtained Austrian citizenship first through marriage and then from there moved to Canada to be with a boyfriend in Montreal.

Got green card and citizenship after marrying Trump-- all three of the Ivana kids were born to, uh, a possible undocumented immigrant. Ivana, Donnie Jr, and Eric... anchor babies!

(9,806 posts)Why do you think so many of the children in cages at the border have gone missing? Trump made sure epstein was dead before he could make some kind of deal to save himself. And...there was Bill Barr, who is likely up to his eyeballs in the same thing.

(34,748 posts)Word has it she was going to dump him as soon as he lost the election. She wasn't planning on his theft being successful. I strongly suspect that her promising to stay in the marriage during Fat Bastard's presidency was the leverage she needed to renegotiate the prenup.

They also seem to love each other, according to people who witnessed their early courtship, and others who have seen their relationship in the White House go from frosty to warm again.
What emerges is a picture of personal ambition similar to Trumps. In 1999, when he ran for president on the Reform Party ticket, she gave interviews musing about becoming the next Jackie O. Later, she echoed Trumps calls for then-president Barack Obama to produce his birth certificate, an alignment with the birther attacks primarily driven by Trump.
There is ample evidence that from the very beginning, Jordan writes, Melania not only accepted and embraced Trumps political aspirations but was also an encouraging partner.
She is just as bad as he is and is in this thing for all she can get, just like the other members of his grifting family.

(28,705 posts)I want to read it. Thanks
Yes, like you, I never bought into the poor Melania bullshit. I think she looks as mean as hell. She can change her facial expressions and demeanor on a dime.
The wearing of that coat with the big bold letters "I Really Don't Care, Do You?" was absolutely inappropriate.
To be worn by any one, let alone a middle aged woman, but especially the wife of the White House Occupier on official business to Texas, as her husband's immigration policies were the caging of children, after being pulled from their mother's safe, loving arms -- small CHILDREN! ... What kind of woman, a mother herself, would make that statement? And then for it to be seen internationally?
Wearing it was a big political Fuck You to her husband sitting in the White House (it would've badly hurt a real, and normal president), and of course, an uncouth fuck you to the rest of us.
I don't believe she possesses the intelligence to qualify for that Einstein Visa she received to stay in this country, and I have never seen or read anywhere that she can really speak 5 languages. She can barely speak English.
I don't know what her true background is (though, I've seen the nude pictues!), or how she and Donald hooked up. I'd like to say I don't care, but I do. I don't know WHO she is. I don't trust her. I have way too many questions.
If she got a better deal out of Donald - I Don't Really Care, Do You? (I couldn't resist, my bad haha!) As an aside, didn't her parents arrive here around this time? Was that negotiated, too? It was at the same time Donald was belly-aching about Chain Migration.
Sorry for rambling ... too much good coffee this morning. I do tend to ramble, lol.

(8,657 posts)She won't see a penny of anything is my guess, when he's out of the office, the creditors are going to want their money and pound of flesh, his whole "wealth" is built on credit. He'll lose everything.
I kind of figured that is why she stayed in NY until she got a better contract.

(76,132 posts)He's been living off the organization's line of credit for years, IMO.
It's the only explanation as to using foundation money for personal expenses.
Even PINO would get that it looks terrible (he so needs to be admired) & could be made to grasp it's illegal.
If he really was super rich, that never would have happened. But it did, because he ain't!

(429 posts)and I have a 20 year age gap and I dont feel offended at all. No matter what opinions are expressed here there will always be someone lurking in the bushes waiting to be offended. No need to apologise. Like offensive comedy you can always change the channel. I say good for us knowing our time together is limited therefore precious.
